  “Eat Pray Love” will first wink at you to make you believe that it’s a normal tale of finding peace within. But it has so much. So much of unanswered questions, so much of self-realizations, so much of carrying guilt throughout life. But believe me, no matter if you love it or hate it, you will surely agree to think in a different way after reading this gem. I will first tell you my experience. It’s not like I was astonished after reading her journey, but there was something very unparalleled process of going with the flow. Gilbert was a normal girl, having everything in life and still fool enough to neglect the importance of stability. So are we, aren’t we?

I may have to re-read it again to fully grasp the essence but whatever I grasped after reading it once is faded and unexplored I guess. Undoubtedly, this is a phenomenal take by the author Ocean Vuong on war, violence, migration, language barrier, and unreal love experiences.

This book “ Live smart - 100 hacks for a healthier and happier life” is a mixture of various foundations, happening in day to day activities.
